Build an AI Agent (BAAA): Do More with AI

In this hands-on live workshop led by Will Sentence (Codesmith CAO & Co-founder), you’ll learn to build your own AI agent: one that watches for visual cues (like a screenshot of a calendar invite or a coding bug) and takes contextual, meaningful action on your behalf, all without a single click. Make sure to also RSVP for this event on our website to receive the Zoom link!

What you’ll learn:

• How to build an AI agent that reacts to screenshots and automates actions (like adding events to your calendar).
• The fundamental 3-part flow behind every AI agent: trigger, context, and action.
• How to use AI to write code, run functions and integrate with tools like Google Calendar or your to-do app.

Guided step-by-step by Will, you’ll build a zero-UI AI agent that works right alongside you. Imagine this:

• Screenshot a coding error → instantly get top fixes, automatically saved
• Screenshot your notes → watch them turn into tasks in your to-do app

No buttons, no menus. Just smart, seamless automation built by you.
